Background: Trapezium fractures are extremely uncommon, accounting for only 4% of all hand injuries. Trapezium fractures are a very infrequent kind of carpal bone injury. They can happen alone or in conjunction with another carpal bone lesion.
Cases report: A 19-years old female right hand dominant with no medical conditions presented to the Emergency Department at East Jeddah Hospital as a case of motor vehicle accident (MVA). She was sitting in the back chair where she put her both hands in hyperextension over the seat in front to protect her during the injury. She came complaining of left hand pain and swelling.
Conclusion: We report this case of trapezium fracture, which is a rare injury with our management done by using open reduction and Herbert’s screws fixation. The patient got successful early mobilization. We achieved good clinical and functional outcomes as well as satisfaction.
